Staff reports

Already bracing for a frigid week, the Seacoast should also be prepared for significant snowfall on Tuesday and overnight into Wednesday.

Snowfall is expected to begin in the Seacoast in the late afternoon or early evening and accumulate 4-7 inches by morning, National Weather Service meteorologist Tom Hawley said Tuesday morning.

Snowfall is forecast to accumulate more in the Seacoast than the rest of New Hampshire, but not as much as other parts of New England. Cape Cod is expected to see blizzard conditions with more than a foot of snow possible, and Boston could see about 10 inches of snow, Hawley said.

In the Seacoast, Tuesday will be cold with wind-chill values as low as -9 degrees, according to the NWS forecast. The cold temperatures are expected to continue Tuesday night with blustery winds 15-25 mph. Similar frigid temperatures are expected throughout most of the week until Saturday.
